I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 609 Enculer Les Coréens
The private room was prepared with juniper sauce, wine-marinated carp, roasted game, trout fillets, various pastries, and local specialties such as champagne and beer.

These are all essential pieces of equipment for watching the game.

As soon as Liu Jin entered, he saw Meira and others who had already changed into French national team jerseys.

Even the celestial beauty has changed into it!
He was sitting next to Mela, excitedly looking outside.

Soon after, Sen Qu Luo also arrived.

Accompanying her were Balthus and a short, seemingly very intellectual woman.

She was wearing black-rimmed glasses, and when she saw Liu Jin, she smiled and walked over.

"Amos, it's been a long time!"

Liu Jin also stepped forward and hugged her.

She is Nancy Miller.

He was originally the president of Balden Publishing in the United States.

However, in 2003, Balandon Publishing was acquired by Random House, and Nancy also came to Random House to serve as vice president.

Liu Jin had met Nancy Miller a few times at parties at Random House before, so she wasn't exactly a stranger to him.

Carmen, it's been a long time!

After meeting with Nancy, Liu Jin turned to Balses.

Balthus said with a look of disgust, "Amos, the second part of Shadow of the Wind is due!"

"Yes, I will!"

If Balces hadn't already known Liu Jin's writing plans for this year, he would have thought he was just being perfunctory.

After chatting and laughing for a while, everyone sat down in the private room.

Tianxian, Chloe, and Lala walked to the glass window of the private room and looked outside.

At this moment, fans who came to watch the game were also entering the stadium one after another.

On the field, players from the French and Korean teams occupied opposite sides of the field, warming up.

"Leipzig has been really lively these past few days."

Senqu Luo had clearly done his homework, and laughed, "We just arrived here today and heard that the fans on both sides are fighting fiercely."

"Three major brawls, and countless smaller ones..."

Leipzig police are going crazy!

"But why?"

Lala took a sip of beer and asked in confusion, "I haven't heard that we have any conflicts with South Korea."

"Who knows?"

As Mela said this, she glanced at Liu Jin.

"What are you looking at me doing?"

"It's nothing, I just have a feeling that it's related to you."

"Don't be ridiculous, it really wasn't me."

I've been diligently writing my article at the hotel for the past two days; the hotel staff can vouch for that. I've hardly left the hotel at all.

Chloe laughed and said, "That should be right."

Otherwise, the Leipzig newspapers would surely have published his romantic escapades.

The people in the private room burst into laughter.

Since everyone knows there are outsiders present today who are not fluent in French, we will mostly be communicating in English.

Liu Jin gave Mela a disgruntled look.

I'm amazed again at a woman's sixth sense; it's truly incredible!

After exchanging a few words with Balses, he turned to Nancy.

“Nancy, I actually know why you came here this time.”

Believe me, I've always hoped to continue working with Random House, since we've always had a very pleasant collaboration.

I know that what happened last year has nothing to do with you.

I don't even resent Mr. Olson; he was caught in a bind.

"Amos, thank you for your magnanimity."

As you know, Random House has always put the interests of its authors first. It's just that last year… as you said, sometimes we have no choice. Peter heard I was coming and specifically asked me to give you his regards.”

"..."

The two were very polite.

Standing to the side, Liu Tianxian couldn't help but pull Chloe aside and ask curiously, "Why is the status of a writer so high?"

Having lived in America for many years, language is certainly not a problem for her.

Moreover, as a young literary enthusiast, I probably know Random House, which is America's top publishing house.

Chloe sat on the windowsill and took a sip of champagne.

"That depends on who it is. Amos is a writing creature... not my opinion, but J.K. Rowling's."

"By the way, don't you like Harry Potter?"

"Yes!"

"Find Amos and ask him to get you a signed copy of Harry Potter."

"He and Rowling are very close?"

"You don't usually follow the news either. Just a few days ago, he was watching a game with Rowling in Nuremberg."

"Wow!"

The celestial being immediately showed an expression of admiration.

It's not that I admire Liu Jin, but rather that I envy him for being able to watch football with Luo Lin.

If I had known, she would have come by herself a couple of days ago...

But it's probably going to be difficult!

Her father treated her like a daughter.

……

The atmosphere in the private room was very harmonious.

During this time, guests from other private rooms also came to visit.

Among them were officials from the French Ministry of Culture.

Just as everyone was chatting, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the venue.

Liu Jin and his team quickly looked at the big screen and saw a giant tifo suddenly appear in the stands where the French fans were. Tens of thousands of fans formed a pattern... that very classic hand gesture.

“Enculer Les Coréens!”

“Enculer Les Coréens!”

"..."

The sounds merged into one, echoing across the stadium.

Yes, that means: South Koreans!
Combined with the enormous Tifo, the sense of humiliation was fully expressed.

Inside the private room, Liu Jin and the others were all dumbfounded.

……

Meanwhile, the situation on site was transmitted to all parts of the world via satellite signals.

Inside the CCTV Headquarters broadcast room in Beijing.

The domestic commentators are watching the live feed and discussing the upcoming match.

A tremendous sound echoed in the broadcast studio.

The director was startled and was about to ask what had happened when he heard the director shout, "Cut the camera! Cut the camera right now!"

The camera immediately shifted away from the Tifo and turned to another object.

"Director, what's going on?"

"The French are criticizing Koreans..."

"What does that have to do with us?"

"Sigh, the regulations from above don't allow broadcasting these things... Hey, let's pull back."

"what happened?"

"Stop... Look, isn't this Zhao Ling'er?"

"Huh? Really... But I heard that a lot of celebrities went to watch the games this year, so it's normal for her to be there."

"Nonsense, look at her seat, that's a private room."

"Hey, who's the man next to her?"

The director immediately transformed into a paparazzi, pointing at Liu Jin standing next to Tianxian in the private room and loudly asking.

"Isn't this Amos? Oh, I remember now, Tianxian seems to be very close to him. She even went to visit him last year."

Do you remember that video on Tianya last year?
She, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung, and Amos, they were singing in the square and stuff..."

"Hmm, now that you mention it, I do recall something like that."

……

At Leipzig's central stadium, the Koreans were stunned.

However, there are also talented people in South Korea.

They quickly retaliated by raising their hands.

Tens of thousands of South Korean fans simultaneously chanted 'Surrender Monkeys' in retaliation against the French fans.

Surrender Monkeys, which translates to 'surrender monkeys'!
It originates from the 1995 American animated series "The Simpsons," specifically the phrase "Cheese-eating surrender monkeys." Originally referring to cheese monkeys that surrendered, it was later simplified to "Surrender Monkeys."

The meanings are roughly the same; they're both breastfeeding techniques.

That raised hand gesture was also a veiled jab at the French army's surrender without a fight during World War II. Sure enough, the French were taken aback!
As a result, the voices of 'Fak and Koreans' grew louder.

At first, the French cursed in French, but later they switched to English as well, with shouts of "Fuck you, coolie!" and "Surrender monkey!" rising and falling.

Inside the private room, Mela and the others were furious.

Standing at the window, he also started cursing loudly.

Mela's face turned red with anger. She turned to Liu Jin and asked, "Amos, what other jokes do Koreans have?"

"Stealing the country, a bunch of thieves, stealing other people's culture everywhere."

"Yes, they were Japanese slaves, who were once ruled by the Japanese."

"them……"

"Stop talking, hurry up and compose a song to curse them to death!"

"Isn't this bad..."

"What's wrong with that? Hurry up!"

Liu Jin thought for a moment, then picked up his pen and wrote: There was a group of thieves who were once slaves of China. They made their living off China, but they have become slaves to the common people... They steal things everywhere, and they say that Jesus is a cultist.

They think they're a great cosmic nation, but they're just a bunch of thieves.

Khwarak coolies!
……

The lyrics are very simple and are written in French.

Liu Tianxian watched from the side, her expression changing.

“Amos, if Kurinis knew you wrote this song, they would kill you.”

"Hahaha!"

Liu Jin, however, did not care.

"I can't think of anything else right now. You can let them go and take a look."

Mela took the paper, glanced at it, and then looked at Liu Jin.

And you still say you're not a laborer, huh?
She then left the private room, seemingly looking for someone.

Don't underestimate those fans; they're all incredibly smart.

Liu Jin believes that as long as they have the lyrics, they will soon find the most suitable melody and turn those lyrics into a large chorus.

In fact, the French fans on the field had already begun to lose ground.

There are tough guys among the Koreans too. First, they raised their hands in surrender, and then some people organized others to wave the white scarves around their necks...

Then he raised his hand high and made a V sign, but with the back of his hand facing forward and his palm facing backward.

This is also a gesture used to insult the French. During the Anglo-French War, the English cut off the index and middle fingers of captured French longbowmen... Afterwards, they used this gesture to humiliate the French... It seems there are quite a few gestures used to insult the French!
The French are starting to crumble after this triple blow!

The momentum gradually weakened.

At this moment, the players from the French and Korean teams entered the field, and the game began.

In the original timeline, France and South Korea drew 1-1 in this match.

Henry scored first in the ninth minute, but South Korea then equalized in the eighty-first minute through Park Ji-sung.

That match was uneventful.

Although everyone knows that the French team is slow to get into the game, the fact that the South Korean team was able to fight them to the end and tie the score is enough to prove that they are not weak.

In this timeline, the South Korean team lost three key players and one substitute in their match against Togo, significantly weakening their strength.

The pre-game fan war of words ended with the Koreans winning.

This boosted their morale, allowing them to hold the French team back in their own half for a full eight minutes.

Henry also failed to score in the ninth minute.

However, in the 13th minute, Zidane, from the edge of the South Korean penalty area, unleashed a spectacular long-range shot reminiscent of the 1998 World Cup, which suddenly found its way into the South Korean goal.

The French team's morale is greatly boosted!
Meanwhile, in the stands, French fans began to sing.

There was a thief who had been humiliated by everyone.

They filled their stomachs by relying on the Chinese, but they repaid kindness with enmity and became slaves to their lives.

They steal everywhere, they say Jesus is Korean... They are shameless by nature, they are the most shameless people in the world.

Vakkulini!

The melody is very simple.

You will learn it as soon as you learn it.

If you can remember the lyrics, you can sing along after listening to it once.

At first, it was just a small group singing, but gradually, the singing began to spread and grow louder and louder...

Korean fans are stunned!
They wanted to upset the French fans.

However, due to the special attention paid by the organizing committee, Leipzig police separated South Korean and French fans from the very beginning.

The stands between the two teams are filled with fans from all over the world.

Moreover, rows of heavily armed riot police stood in the aisles of the stands.

As soon as the South Korean fans made a move, riot police rushed over, gave them a beating, and then took away more than a dozen fans.

Korean fans were not satisfied and retaliated with various hand gestures.

However, they could no longer gain the upper hand when faced with that perfectly synchronized singing.

Soon, the Tifo that had just disappeared reappeared in the stands of the French fans.

Riot police and other neutral fans, on the other hand, were thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.

On the field, Malouda couldn't help but smile.

But that smile was particularly irritating to the South Korean players.

Midfielder Cho Jae-jin tackled Malouda to the ground with a move that resembled chopping wood during a defensive play.

Malouda clutched his legs, screaming incessantly.

Vieira rushed forward to retaliate, but fortunately the referee stopped him in time and decisively showed Cho Jae-jin a red card.

In the 21st minute of the first half, the South Korean team had a player sent off, making it 10 vs 11.
Already at a disadvantage, they were further weakened by having one player sent off.

The Korean national team is starting to fall apart.

However, Cho Jae-jin's actions angered the French.

In the 28th minute, Henry broke into the penalty area and unleashed a powerful shot, making it 2-0.
In the 39th minute, Wiltord cut inside and delivered a brilliant pass, which Malouda followed up with a shot, making it 3-0.
In the 41st minute, Zidane delivered a lobbed pass, and the onrushing third defender Abidal rushed in and headed the ball into the net.

4:0
The Korean team got completely crushed!

Meanwhile, in the stands, the thief's song rang out again.

This time, however, the South Korean fans did not respond!
……

During halftime, French fans sang and danced.

In the commentary booth, commentators from various countries were analyzing the first half of the match in a lively and diverse manner.

They didn't pay much attention to the song "The Thief's Song," but analyzed it from a tactical perspective.

In their view, the reason why the South Korean team lost so badly was largely due to the fact that several key players were executed in the previous game against Togo.

Indeed, there are reasons for this.

However, the verbal sparring between South Korean and French fans before the game also angered the French players to some extent.

The French team, which is usually slow to start, surprisingly got into the game early in this match.

The Chinese commentator is Duan Xuan.

This match also marked his first time appearing in the commentary booth.

I just didn’t expect that…

But then we encountered this situation.

Fortunately, he was providing a neutral explanation, but during the explanation, he also figured out the meaning of the song and couldn't help but chuckle to himself. After all, although they were both from East Asia, he didn't have much goodwill towards the Koreans.

During halftime, he chatted with his colleagues about the song "The Thief's Song".

"I bet this song was most likely written by a Chinese person."

Europeans have no interest in knowing anything about South Korea…

"Could it be..."

"Shh, we don't know anything."

Duan Xuan quickly interrupted his colleague, saying that one should be careful what one says when out and about.

Just then, there was a sudden commotion outside.

The other commentators all rushed out of the commentary booth.

Moments later, news came that a South Korean fan had just evaded riot police and run into the French fans' section.

He also stabbed a French fan with a Swiss Army knife.

But he wasn't a French fan; he was a German, a Zidane fan.

As a result, French and German fans became enraged and gathered together, attempting to storm the South Korean fans' section, but were stopped by the police.

"This is insane! These Koreans!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

The commentator in the sidelines smiled wryly and said, "Just watch, there will definitely be a large-scale fan riot after this game."

"No way!"

"Of course it is. There have been three conflicts in the past two days."

I predict it will be even worse today!

Duan Xuan couldn't help but marvel at what he heard.
